BBCEarth's Life Is

We've taken a look at some of your favourite bits from the last 12 months and decided to share them all over again. The first is one of our favourites too, the birth of a new island.

When people think of new things in nature, they usually think of baby animals. And that's usually what's captured on camera... until now.

Check out this incredible video of a volcanic island being born in the Solomon Islands.
